Goal for this session<\/em><\/strong>:  In this session, you analyze a short sequence of learning experiences within your curriculum through the lens of a Disciplinary Core Idea (DCI).

Prepare<\/strong>\u00a0– To prepare to analyze your classroom learning experiences, review an\u00a0Example Target Core Ideas Planning Tool<\/a>\u00a0for Investigations 10-12 in the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0grade curriculum\u00a0Investigating Water Transformations<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

a. This curriculum focuses on the DCI Matter and Its Interactions.\u00a0 Use the\u00a0Example Planning Tool<\/a>\u00a0to find which of the components of the DCI were identified as targets for the 3-investigation sequence. \u00a0The components of the DCI addressed in grades 3-5 are listed in the NGSS under the\u00a05th<\/sup>\u00a0grade standards for Matter and Its Interactions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b. With the core idea targets in mind, the next step is to identify learning goals that contribute to students\u2019 understanding of the DCI– and omit those that do not. \u00a0On the\u00a0Example Planning Tool<\/a>, find the learning goals that we found in the Teachers\u2019 Guide for Investigations 10-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the Planning Tool<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Find the standards for the DCI that your curriculum addresses. (See the\u00a0NGSS<\/a>.)<\/li>
  2. Complete the\u00a0Target Core Ideas Planning Tool (docx)<\/a>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Note: You can look at a single lesson, one or more sequences of learning experiences, or an entire curriculum unit through the lens of a DCI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
